In 2 days, GPT, Claude and Llama 3 helped me solve 4 different problems. 1) I wanted to load in a webpage a json file, parse and read it, using Rust + webassebly. GPT solved it in 10 minutes. 2) Then i wanted to use this code and make it as a Chrome browser extension. GPT solved it as well. 3) Then i wanted to parse recursively directories with Rust source code, run tree-sitter queries, get the points and print matches, not with cli but using the libraries. GPT solved it in an hour. 4) Right now i finished analyzing a git repo, and fetching all branches and commit messages using git2. Llama 3 + Claude Sonet solved it in an hour or two.
DHH did an interview yesterday [1] in which he mentions that he will be programming by hand even if everyone else uses A.I. assistance. I think he is pretty smart and he will not be stuck in the era of meaty fingers pressing keyboards to make programs.
